It’s not a forest, but a piece of residential property in Tottenville that has one neighbor feeling anything but environmentally friendly.

Two small, one-story residences at 522 and 526 Clermont Ave. owned by Staten Islander Anthony Guddemi are so filthy and uncared for, they are causing Natasha Salonia and her family additional money to maintain their Yetman Avenue property, which touches the Clermont site, claims Mrs. Salonia.

In the last six years, said Mrs. Salonia, mosquitoes have caused havoc due to standing water on the Clermont land. Poison ivy has forced two tenants from Mrs. Salonia’s home because of allergic reactions. The family swimming pool is constantly covered in branches and leaves, and recently, a water main on Guddemi’s property broke, causing a “river” to flow into the Yetman homeowner’s yard.

To make matters worse, opossums, raccoons and rats are commonly seen in the area.

“It’s complete chaos. He would have empty containers that would just collect water .¤.¤. mosquitoes were all over the place. How much can I do as a homeowner?” she said. “I don’t know.”

When the family moved in back in 2005, they assumed both one-story buildings — small enough to be considered bungalows — were vacant. As of last Thursday, one had tenants.

The other property was nearly impassable due to waist-high weeds. Some of its windows have been busted out; others are boarded up. The side of the home has branches poking out of it. Its address was listed as 528, but according to city records, it should say 526.

Ironically, a lawnmower sits in the back of the property.

Mrs. Salonia said Guddemi comes “every now and again” to pick up some garbage.

“He really doesn’t care,” she said. “It’s constant pain on my property. He has no regard.”

When asked about the situation, Guddemi repeatedly said he always cleans up the property and that there are “no weeds at all.”

Before this reporter contacted Guddemi, Mrs. Salonia said he’s told her in the past that he needs to knock the buildings down and put up a new house.

He repeated this statement on Wednesday.

Carol Amodio, a nearby resident of 16 years, said the buildings should be torn down.

“You can’t tell people how to live or what to do, but it’s a fire hazard,” said the woman, adding that warm weather and a carelessly flicked cigarette could cause a big problem.

“There’s a big fat ‘possum that lives there. It’s very unhealthy,” she said.

Longtime Tottenville resident Mike Affilitto jogs through the neighborhood on a regular basis.

“It’s always looked like that since I can remember,” said Affilitto, who’s been in the community for 27 years.

He thought both homes were abandoned, but was surprised when he realized a tenant was living in one of them.

“Everyone takes care of their property around here. Who knows what comes crawling out of something like that?” he added, wishing the city would take action on such issues.

A search of Advance archives showed that Guddemi has been under the spotlight before for not maintaining his properties.

In 2005, the newspaper reported that Guddemi, a longtime landlord, disregarded an uneven, gravel-strewn path that developed over time in front of 234-236 Midland Avenue.

Guddemi rented another rooming house in Annadale to members of the Children of God religious sect in 1972, but its members were forced to leave after city inspectors uncovered violations, including an open cesspool in the yard.

Years later, he was investigated by the city for continuing to collect rent from boarders in the same dilapidated rooming house, months after the city condemned and took the property to be part of Blue Heron Park.

The landlord also owned the 22-room Christmas Tree Inn in Prince’s Bay. On Jan. 4 last year, just days after sending eviction notices out to its residents in a bid to raze the building and replace it with high-end condos, 55-year-old resident Richard Dworkin was found decomposing in one of the inn’s rooms. He had died of a gastrointestinal hemorrhage, a complication of his chronic alcoholism.

In 1994, arson was suspected at the Inn when a 4 a.m. blaze ripped through the rear of the building. It started on the exterior of the building and spread quickly, according to an Advance report.

“I have children,” said Mrs. Salonia. “I have to be careful when they go into the yard, because every day I’m going out with a chemical to kill poison ivy. I’m really tired of it.”
